GunShotThat will require restructuring and for NVIDIA to bring in a new software engineering lead/team.

Both actions NVIDIA has already stated that they will NOT reduce its current staff and no new talents aka a hiring freeze, so...

They're a multibillion $ company. I'm sure they could figure something out if they wanted to.

Responses above is one of the reason why NVIDIA does not need to care.

Look at this Ampere series, for example, this whole line of GPUs has NEVER received any worthy performance lift drivers (my first 3090 late 9/20) over ~8%, period!

And that "multi-billion" statement, well, that does not mean swat and it is clear that NVIDIA's share price (and its M-Cap) is waaaAAaaay overvalued by shady analysts. And, one more thing, whatever NVIDIA TRUE VALUE is, it is not what it is today because NVIDIA is *fair and honest* with its consumers.

You think the lack of performance update is because they don't care? Doesn't it make more sense that they are already pushing it as far as it will go (while staying in their power envelop)

More unfounded "what if..." nonsense.

People's memories are very short it seems. Ampere's SKUs never (technically) got over (replaced) its questionable Sammy's binned woes fabrication, component issues, etc. which lead NVIDIA to nerfing Ampere's drivers with an update (that had trickled down to ALL its GPUs) in Ampere's early days.

So, no. NVIDIA DGAF enough about its consumers to care to CORRECT its screw-ups (if they did, NVIDIA would have changed its Ti's line-up SKUs fabs for starts, not by them deploying a lame nerf update), especially when miners and scalpers were purchasing its cards easy for ~$2k+ a pop late '20 and all of '21.

GunShotForward-thinking does not compute for NVIDIA's current software team. If you can prove me wrong rather than going all fanboy-ish, I'll welcome it to redact my statement but until then... :rockout:

Fanboyish? Yeh, i get your angle of approach now. No thanks.

GunShotI completely disagree. Pascal being no.1 on Steam means swat for NVIDIA present and future profits and it also hurts NVIDIA to push new architecture, it adds extra wasted hours constantly contributing engineering hours in developing GRD, for it, etc.

NVIDIA is a company, not a charity and they owe no one anything, especially how old these cards are, including Pascal.

NVIDIA has already earned all the profit that it will ever receive from these legacy GPUs.

Hope for the best but these legacy owners need to prepare for the worst.

Just saying...

Nvidia also has a reputation for supporting their hardware long past it's service life, just saying.

Well, NVIDIA's new DLSS 3.0 just killed that rumour for its 2000 series and its most recent 3000 series, right?!

Hope for the best but...

thats actually a smart change
